Like FileUtils, but provides zip, unzip, bzip2, bunzip2, tar, untar, sed, du, md5sum, shasum, cut, head, tail, wc, unix2dos, dos2unix, iconv, curl, perl, etc.

Open local or remote XLSX, XLS, ODS, CSV (comma separated), TSV (tab separated), other delimited, fixed-width files, and Google Docs. Returns an enumerator of Arrays or Hashes, depending on whether there are headers.

Cache based on arguments AND object state; store in memcached, redis, or in-process. Like alias_method, but it's cache_method! One step beyond memoization.

Most caching libraries don't do locking, meaning that >1 process can be calculating a cached value at the same time. Since you presumably cache things because they cost CPU, database reads, or money, doesn't it make sense to lock while caching?

Defines a simple interface to multiple cache-like storage engines by wrapping common Ruby client libraries like memcached, redis, memcache-client, dalli. Handles each underlying library's weirdnesses, including forking.

A (better?) replacement for open-uri. Lets you open local and remote files by immediately returning their contents as a string.

Presents a simple, unchanging interface to get metadata about your EngineYard AppCloud instances running on Amazon EC2.

Upsert on MySQL, PostgreSQL, and SQLite3. Transparently creates functions (UDF) for MySQL and PostgreSQL; on SQLite3, uses INSERT OR IGNORE.

Find a needle (a document or record) in a haystack using string similarity and (optionally) regular expression rules. Uses Dice's Coefficient (aka Pair Similiarity) and Levenshtein Distance internally.

Download, unpack from a ZIP/TAR/GZ/BZ2 archive, parse, correct, convert units and import Google Spreadsheets, XLS, ODS, XML, CSV, HTML, etc. into your ActiveRecord models. Uses RemoteTable gem internally.

Like alias_method, but it's lock_method! (lockfiles)

Replaces mini_record-compat. Define table structure (columns and indexes) inside your ActiveRecord models like you can do in migrations.

Gives you binaries like mysql2csv, mysql2json, and mysql2xml, and Ruby classes to match.

Define an errata in table format (CSV) and then apply it to an arbitrary source. Inspired by RFC Errata, lets you keep your own errata in a transparent way.

DSL for creating clean CSV, XLSX, and PDF reports in Ruby. Uses xlsx_writer, prawn and pdftk internally.
